Day one is in the books!
It wasn’t as difficult as I thought, but I do need to work on food choices. The fruit, while easy to pick up on the way out the door, wasn’t quite filling. May need to look at snack options with more fiber and/or protein.
I am excited to say that I ate two things that I don’t like: lettuce and carrots. Granted, it was a very small amount. But the journey starts with small steps, right?
I got a 30-minute walk in, but my hip bursitis did bother me a little. I think it was aggravated by the treadmill yesterday. The trainers are aware of my bursitis, so hopefully we’ll be able to move forward. I’m about to ice it and do my stretches.
Tomorrow is my first morning with the trainer, 5:30 a.m. A little anxious, but more about not oversleeping that the actual workout.
